In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic and the civil unrest that has swept the nation, Corporate America is turning a critical eye toward its diversity, equality and inclusion policies. Many companies who came out in support of those protesting the killing of George Floyd pledged renewed commitments to fighting systemic racism by announcing action plans that include internal policies for hiring, advancement programs, as well as external efforts to support racial justice organizations. Our CEO Roundtable discussion focuses on the importance of this moment in heightening race relations and how it has changed, enhanced and strengthened diversity work in key areas of business.
